What makes for a relaxing day by the bay?

It's not necessarily the presence of a [man-made] beach. It's having a properly rehabilitated bay (a swimmable one at that!), having a decent open space to stroll (and walk your bike), and to enjoy the clear view while eating in an affordable bayside eatery.

Is it too much to ask for what really works? #PuertoPrincesa is able to do it, and execute it elegantly.

"Hundreds of volunteers joined a mass cleanup drive along the coast of the polluted Manila Bay in the Philippine capital to mark International Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday."

"Volunteers and government workers, including hundreds of coast guard personnel, collected sachets, rubber slippers and other non-biodegradable waste that have been washed in the Manila Bay, a 60 km (37 mile) semi-enclosed estuary facing the South China Sea."
